Cravings, addictions and attachments
Our humans lives seem full of cravings, addictions and attachments. We want this and not that. We feel we have to have that and avoid something else. There seems to be innumerable cravings, addictions and attachments. It seems to just be part of the human condition, and even if there was a way to deal with them - there seems to just be too many to take care of.
And yet, there is really only one form of attachment and that is the attachment to thoughts (to abstractions, ideas, images and so on).
And there is really only one source attachment to a single thought, and that is the thought of I. The thought of I as opposed to Other, of I as finite, as placed on something within the field of what is, added to a section of what arises right now. The belief in that one thought, that one simple - and seemingly so plausible - idea, is what creates the whole human drama.
